Ikhaya Safari Lodge

Wij boekten 2 kamers en we hadden een heel huis voor ons, heel luxueus ingericht, met een prachtig terras, bar buiten en zwembad.

Er was geen restaurant in de buurt. We kwamen laat aan en moesten een bestelling doen via über.

I loved the views and beautiful decor in this lovely lodge.

Nothing to dislike.

Friendly Host

Clumps of hair came out shower drain when used.

Hats off to The lady (The jockey )at the reception was very helpful from breakfast to check out

for check in late could have provide a cold plate

Het terras geeft uitzicht over de grote tuin (met tennisbaan) en wijnvelden van Constantia. Wauw! Hier kan je de hele dag wel vertoeven. Accommodatie ligt in de buurt van verschillende restaurants - wel auto/Uber nodig. Parkeren kan veilig achter het hek. Het ontbijt is uitgebreid; deels buffet, deels a la carte, met onder andere heerlijke croissants en fruitsalade. De algemene ruimtes zijn een mooie toevoeging, zoals het sfeervolle zitje bij de open haard. Fijne, ruime kamer. Ook van buiten ziet de accommodatie er erg mooi uit.

De naastgelegen weg is best druk, waardoor je het verkeer hoort rijden. Dat is jammer, dit past ook niet bij het geweldige uitzicht.

Stunning property on the slope of Table Mountain. Beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Service was excellent and the breakfast was delicious.

Lodge très original .

Il faut absolument une voiture et très difficile et dangereux de marcher sur la route . Chauffage peu efficace . Le service pourrait être plus agréable au déjeuner.

Jesse was brilliant!

Echt tolle Unterkunft in stadtnähe :) neben all den Großstadt Hotels gibt hier ein bisschen Natur. Die Zimmer sind top, das Personal echt nett und zuvorkommend. Wir lieben die Lage mit der tollen Aussicht. Haben hier auch noch eine Nacht länger verbracht, da es so schön wär. Können wir wärmstens weiter empfehlen! :)

Die Lodge ist sehr schön . Das Frühstück kostet extra . Die Mitarbeiter sind alle sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich.

Die Lodge liegt etwas abgelegen . Die Straße ist laut .

I really loved the lush surroundings and the beautifully decorated space. The bedroom was comfortable, and the staff were exceptionally friendly. Good location also!

While the Zebra Room is beautifully finished, it lacks privacy due to its ground-floor location. The bathroom is positioned directly in front of the hotel’s patio, and the pathway from the parking area runs alongside the room, allowing passersby a clear view inside unless the blinds are fully closed. Although BBQ facilities are available, the additional charge of 350 ZAR solely for providing grill utensils was disappointing.

Alles war perfekt vom Anfang an. Die Einführung und Erklärung der Lodge, das Personal -alles Super 👍🏼

Es passte alles 🤩

Alles ziet er schitterend uit. Feitelijk hebben we er 2 nachten doorgebracht en geen gebruik gemaakt van alle faciliteiten

The location is beautiful and with stunning views. We loved our room, the terrace, the interior and the staff.

This felt a bit like renting your own place, rather than a hotel. The service from staff is a bit limited, and communication is difficult. We didn’t feel helped when asking simple questions like airport transfer etc. There is a long sharp flight of stairs to get to the rooms and we travelled with lots of luggage and an infant, and was promised some help to get the luggage up and into the car in the early morning. No one came. We would understand completely if you said no in advance, but to agree something and simply not do it pulls our review score down a bit.

The location and fantastic outlook. Plenty of clothes storage.

The Pumba room did not have a full length mirror. No NESPRESSO coffee maker either.

Beautiful views, big and clean room, great location

Although the staff is very kind, we didn’t feel much helped or understood when asking simple questions

Prachtig uitzicht en fijne locatie met een heerlijk zwembad. Echt een aanrader.

De desk is tot maximaal 5 uur bemand, waardoor we onze koffers niet achter konden laten op de dag van vertrek. De kamer had airco, maar het bleef erg warm in het slaapgedeelte.

The ambience and peace away from the city.

As travellers and visitors we would have preferred earlier breakfasts.

Uitstekende locatie nabij Constantia. Zeer goed goed ontbijt. Prettige service.

After an 11.5 hour flight from London we arrived into a piece of heaven. My mum's room was actually ready on arrival around 11am so we got changed and sat at the pool for an hour before my room was then ready. The rooms were both huge with ensuite bathrooms. Breakfast is available at an extra charge but we aren't huge breakfast people so didn't bother (you can help yourself to a coffee). There is an honesty bar for beer, wine, cider and soft drinks too. The staff are all really helpful and friendly. You can easily walk to Constantia Glen and Beau Constantia vineyards from the lodge but uber's are easily available as well. We had two nights here and wished we had stayed longer but I have already rebooked for November with a friend and can't wait to visit again then!

A perfect stay!

sehr gutes Frühstück tolle Terrasse mit Aussicht nach Kapstadt

Lage etwas ausserhalb, kein eigenes Restaurant das Bett im Dachzimmer hatte links und rechts kaum Platz

Hiken vanuit de locatie. Prachtig uitzicht. Dicht bij restaurants

Het resort licht wat dicht aan de weg, deze is niet zichtbaar maar geeft wat geluid.

Accueil, personnel, cadre, petit déjeuner .... tout était parfait. Un petit paradis avec une vue superbe et proche de tous les sites à visiter. Nous y avons passé une semaine de rêve.

Un peu trop Bryant à notre goût, du fait de la proximité des routes

It was in such a lovely setting, it really felt like I was escaping the city. Really friendly and helpful staff and lovely room.

Nothing

Perfect location, beautiful property and kind staff. I loved it

Staff friendly

Pool was unclean and breakfast poor value for money Lack of facilities

Wunderschön und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Sehr freundliches Personal.

Besonders hervorzuheben ist die tolle Kundenorientierung von Michelle an der Rezeption. Wir waren im sehr großzügigen Nguni-Zimmer mit einem niedlichen Balkon untergebracht. Das Bett war ausgesprochen komfortabel und auch für 1,98 m große Menschen lang genug. Da wir bereits um 3 Uhr morgens auschecken mussten, können wir zum Frühstück leider keine Angaben machen. Die gesamte Unterkunft ist sehr gepflegt und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Bei einem nächsten Besuch kommen wir sehr gerne wieder.

Die steile und sehr schmale Treppe zum Zimmer ist architektonisch bedingt etwas herausfordernd. Der Kühlschrank war für unser Empfinden etwas laut. Zudem waren am Abend bis kurz vor Mitternacht Geräusche aus dem allgemeinen Livingroom zu hören. Ein dezenter Hinweis auf Ruhezeiten ab 22 Uhr könnte hier hilfreich sein.

1) fabulous location, impressive gardens 2) sofa in our suite and private balcony 3) the lounge in the main house 4) the bread, fruit and coffee at breakfast 5) the interior decoration/ornaments

1) breakfast was from 8am but not all the items were put out by 8am 2) we found the TV very hard to use, would have been nice to have been able to watch sport or the BBC/CNN 3) The banana tree in the drive should be removed to make parking easier

Die gesamte Anlage ist einfach traumhaft. Die Ausstattung der Zimmer sehr hochwertig und der Ausblick einzigartig. Ich konnte nie genug davon bekommen, auf der Terrasse zu sitzen und in die Natur zu schauen.

Die Aussicht war traumhaft, die Zimmer schön eingerichtet, Pumba hat eine große private Terrasse mit Blick in die Vegetation. Das Zimmer Nguni einen tollen Blick bis zum Meer. Alle Mitarbeiter super freundlich!

Es gab nichts zu bemängeln😊 Außer ein bisschen Lärm von den Straßen, die vor und hinter dem Haus verlaufen. Aber da kann das Hotel natürlich auch nichts für. Trotzdem alles top

Sonia was a go send!!! An absolute joy to deal with, you are very lucky to have her working at the Lodge.

Cheeses and cold meats for breakfast, small table and chairs outside on the room balcony would be lovely to watch the sunrise and set.

volop keuze!

Beperkt uitzicht vanuit onze zolderkamer. Vanaf terras overigens fantastisch uitzicht

Location

Swimming pool small en dirt’ish. Breakfast way too expensive

The lodge was well designed and in a good position for getting out and about in the area. Our room was a little tired but well equipped ,the bed was comfortable and the room opened out onto to the main decking area with it’s wonderful views.

The staff were pleasant but some lacked the skills to give a great service.For example certain foods which run out at the breakfast bar weren’t replaced without constant asking. Some days the rooms weren’t serviced until well into the afternoon.The swimming pool seemed to constantly have the pool cleaner in it.

My stay at Ikhaya Safari Lodge was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The atmosphere of the lodge is calm, authentic, and deeply peaceful — exactly what I needed after a long journey. The lodge has a very special energy: quiet, harmonious, and grounding. The views are absolutely beautiful, and the surrounding nature creates a feeling of space and serenity. The young gentleman at the reception was exceptionally kind, attentive, and welcoming — his warmth made the arrival especially pleasant. One of the great advantages of this location is its proximity to the starting point of the easier hiking route up Table Mountain, as well as an excellent nearby restaurant. This makes the lodge a perfect base for both rest and light exploration. Breakfast was delicious and thoughtfully prepared. Overall, Ikhaya Safari Lodge feels like a place created for true rest, reset, and reconnection with oneself. I wholeheartedly recommend this lodge to anyone looking for peace, comfort, and authentic Cape Town atmosphere. Wishing the owners and staff prosperity, success, and all the best. I would be very happy to return here again.

As this is a boutique lodge, services are intentionally minimal — which was part of its charm for me.

aussergewöhnlich

Beautiful peaceful area. Joshua was very helpful at all times.

Wasp nest outside my window but it’s all part of nature 🤗

Sehr individuell, sehr aufmerksam, tolle Lage & Blick

The location is perfect very beautiful and very peaceful place

The rooms, staff and overall facilities were exactly what we needed. Very relaxing.

Nothing I can think of at the moment.

Everything was perfect, i wish to come back very soon

Nothing

Exceeded expectations. Will be back

De tuin, het uitzicht en ons terras

Zwembad was wat klein en koud maar midden in de zomer moet het daar gewoon geweldig zijn

Väldigt gemytligt och vackert beläget

Inget

Clean and very comfortable rooms. Beautiful surroundings. Friendly and helpful staff.

There is some road noise.

Lovely homely feel. Professional friendly reception staff. Very nice breakfast, even went out and bought me oat milk on request.

Localização e comodidades . Vista belíssima do quarto

O staff não foi muito amigável . Deviam ter um pequeno almoço mais elaborado para o preço pago .

Tolle Unterkunft super schön gelegen am Hang, sehr ruhig. Die Zimmer sind individuell gestaltet, alles sehr sauber. Toller Ausblick in alle Richtungen. Man ist etwas außerhalb von Kapstadt, aber mit dem Auto oder Uber gut unterwegs. Ich würde jederzeit wieder dort übernachten

Nichts. Alles gut

Sehr gepflegte Anlage. Super schöne Lage, alles gut per Mietwagen oder UBER erreichbar. Sichere Gegend.

Frühstück war bescheiden

Style of lodge, very nice, good location

Pool not clean at any point during our 3 day visit, and noise from road, which could be fixed with some double windows and a sound proofed frame put in front of the thatch .

Sehr nette Besitzer, zuvorkommend, nicht aufdringlich, sehr bequeme Betten, große Zimmer

Frühstück war etwas teuer

Absolutely stunning place with gorgeous safari aesthetic. The views of Constantia were gorgeous from my room’s balcony.

We loved every entire detail about Ikhaya Safari Lodge..Will definitely go back there.

Everything was perfect.

Schön angelegte Unterkunft mit traumhafter Aussicht. Super nette Betreuung durch die Rezeption mit vielen Tips. Wir konnten direkt von der Unterkunft über Constantia Neck auf den Tafelberg wandern (ist allerdings eine lange Wanderung mit teilweise schmalen wenig begangenen Wegen und sicherlich nicht für jedermann).

Unterkunft wirkte teilweise verwaist. Poolbar geschlossen. Wir waren aber auch in der Vorsaison dort. Man muss wissen, dass man außerhalb / oberhalb der Stadt ist und sollte ein Auto haben, oder ist auf das Uber angewiesen.

heerlijke plek om bij te komen na de vliegreis. rustig en vlakbij wijnhuizen en natuurlijk de botanische tuinen

een aantal ontbijtopties niet beschikbaar

where do yo start if you are looking for something very special this is the place for you

sonia the manger could not have been more accommodating my wife was ill when we arrived she was brilliant

The room was beautifully presented and clean - the rest of the lodge was the same - great outlook and nothing out of place

Difficult to suggest anything - access to the upper rooms with large cases was challenging but that is because it’s a Winding staircase due to space restrictions - I wouldn’t see this a negative though

Very comfortable, beautiful lodge done to a very high standard. Excellent location. Stunning views. Lovely breakfast.

Sonja at reception was so lovely and allowed me to come early and use the pool and deck area which was greatly appreciated. The lounge, deck and pool area are comfortable with lovely views of forest and vineyards. Nice bedroom with fridge, tea and coffee facilities and nice bath products. A peaceful nights stay away from the city!

My room didnt have a nice window view (only a skylight and small window lookong onto car park) but was fine for me and probably the cheapest room you could book, so not an issue!

Geweldige locatie, gezellige sfeer en heerlijk ontbijt.

All in all, such a lovely, warm, welcoming, and sweet stay at Käthe’s wonderful gem in the heart of the Constantia Forest. Her helpers were delightful, and it truly felt like home. Since we had quite a bit of luggage, we asked if we could move to a larger room — and within 15 minutes, everything was arranged. All the rooms are charming and lovingly decorated. The absolute highlight was her adorable dachshund ladies — little Poppy accompanied us everywhere. Käthe herself was incredibly helpful, always quick to respond with useful tips and her warm, welcoming manner. All in all, a truly beautiful stay.

BEST Host, Homely feeling & amazing lodge ! Location is amazing & wonderful for peaceful time

Ikhaya is simply stunning. A beautiful lodge with amazing views, so scenic and tranquil but only a short distance from Constantia's best tourist spots. The facilities and rooms were luxurious and the breakfast was delicious, not to mention the friendly staff. Käthe was the perfect hostess, making us feel at home and going out of her way to make sure we enjoyed our stay - which we certainly did and will definitely be back.

Great setting, friendly staff and good food.

Quite noisy traffic this time due to wind direction. . Pool was very cool and shaded but we enjoyed relaxing by it with a glass of wine.

What a place. Stunning rooms with a spectacular view

Only one night stay which is my fault - should have booked 2 or 3 nights!

Beautiful property spacious rooms tastefully furnished. Wonderful outlook. Perfect location for visiting Kirstenbosch! Lovely welcome, attentive staff and outstanding breakfasts.

No breakfast but excellent location

Bedrooms were ok but no more than that

View, peace and quiet, large room, tennis court

Breakfast could be more clearer in terms of what the options are etc

A special place on the edge of Table Mountain. A very warm and generous welcome from the staff and owner who went beyond to help. Good recommendations for local places to eat in Constantia nearby. Lovely comfy rooms and gardens with a great view! The terrace is a wonderful place to spend some time having a drink and we were even treated to a babboon family interrupting a tennis game and taking residence in the lower gardens for the evening. Only upstaged by the lovely sausage dogs in residence who were super friendly. As a family of 4 and having stayed in Seapoint, boulders bay and Franschoek we wanted to stay somewhere a little different and not go back to busy Cape Town and this was the perfect place. A good base for starting a trek up table mountain (although when we were there it was rather warm and we decided to drive around to the shorter but steeper Platterklip route). Overall a fantastic stay and highly recommended.

Beautiful property set in lovely grounds. Great accommodation.

I liked the style of the lodge, the cleanliness, the friendly staff, and the breakfast served in the morning. I LOVED the location very much, close to anything every person visiting for the first time must to see.

I appreciated everything.
